Stamatis Boyatzis
Stamatis Boyatzis is a Professor at the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art (CAWA) of the University of West Attica, and is currently the head of the Department.
He received his First Degree in Chemistry from the University of Athens (1982) and his Doctoral Degree from the same Institution after pursuing his Thesis in NCSR Demokritos, Institute of Physical Chemistry from 1983 to 1987. He has worked as a Post-doctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Ill, USA (1987-1989); employed by NCSR Demokritos (1996-2000) in charge of the GC-MS and LC-MS facility (Institute of Physical Chemistry) and by the University of Patras as Adjunct Professor in the Department of Materials Science (2000-2003). Since 1996, he also taught Chemistry-related courses as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art (CAWA) of the TEI of Athens. In 2011 he was elected Assistant Professor.
His research interests lie in characterizing and investigating the deterioration of materials in art objects and antiquities; specifically, organic and inorganic pigments, binding media, natural and artificial resins/polymer coatings, bone and other protein materials (teeth, ivory, leather, parchment), and polysaccharide materials (wood, paper).
He has hands-on experience in an extensive range of analytical techniques, such as infrared spectrometry in various sampling modes (ATR, transmission, reflection); also, infrared micro-spectroscopy, UV-visible, and Fluorescence spectroscopies, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, X-Ray Diffraction spectroscopy for investigating their molecular structure, assessing their current condition, and elucidating deterioration mechanisms. Also, in developing new materials for conservation, as well as thermal analysis of organic materials such as natural and artificial resins, and industrial polymers.
He has supervised and is currently supervising doctoral candidates at the Department of CAWA, and in collaboration with NCSR Demokritos, and the University of the Arts, London.
His teaching duties in both the undergraduate and the graduate level include general and organic chemistry, materials science, deterioration, and pathology of materials in cultural heritage, and chemical characterization techniques. During 2017-2020 he served as the Director of the Department’s Graduate Studies Programme.
